Preparation

Mix everything together in one big bowl. Mix it really well using your hands. Add as much ketchup as desired to this mixture. Form into a loaf or ring pan, or make a shape and bake it in a large pan. Top meat loaf with the red onions and bake for 45 minutes at 350 degrees F. You can substitute bacon slices for the onion. All ingredients can vary.

Instead of Ketchup I use BBQ Sauce, and only 1/2 cup of milk. I omit the onions and/or bacon on top. SOOOOO good! When it's cooking the smell is incredible. Makes great leftovers. Amy Sedaris' book is so good when you're in a funky mood...she is hilarious.

Made this for the family last night for Halloween. It could have been very good except for the red wine which I used Black Box Merlot (on hand). The wine gave the meat loaf a wierd after taste. Used abou 1/2 specified onions. I will try the Yummy Mummy meat loaf next time.

This was delicious!
I'm not big on
meatloaf but the b/f
wanted to make some so
after looking in
various cookbooks we
settled on this recipe.
He added in some
bacon fat (he says about 3T), so perhaps
that made it extra
special tasty, but it
got rave reviews with
our friends.

Here is a hint, actually a huge recommendation...don't add as much ketchup as you want. This was taught to us in grade school to cover up a world of mistakes, Think about it; Tastes like ketchup! Good.Wrong,Wrong, Wrong!
If you remember early lessons in culinary school extra moisture causes a world of hurt.
We could spend a day & a half on how wrong it is to toss bottles of ketchup into a recipe because you want to fool your customers (or family).
If you love bitter wet chunks of sloppy meat be my guest & whip up a heaping pile of this meatloaf.

I'm making this dish again right now! The meatloaf was super moist and I put chutney on top because that's all I had on the refrigerator door. I just got this whole recipe book this weekend and it is unbelievably funny and fabulous and practical.
